Rightly said Neon.. Meanwhile, Pattinson just did a Sreesanth !
Poor stuff from the young lad.
So many maidens...good plan.
What planet is Swat on?? The Aussie bowlers are ripping you apart!!
with a batting line-up like India went to triple figures for the loss of just two wickets, this Aussie bowling attack IS toothless indeed.
If you actually watch the match...there was nothing much in the bowling really. I guess my point will make sense once India see through the 1st hour of tomorrow's play.
Aussie bowlers will suffer if they bowl the way they did today.
Firstly it's a batting pitch so any bowling unit around the world would struggle to dominate.
Secondly they are bowling against the so called "best batting side in the world"
Thirdly they bowled India ALL OUT for 191 & have them 114/2 in the second innings once they amassed 659/4d!!!!
They also ripped through you in the first test!! Decent bowling line up.
Considering how dumb the pitch is, their game plan has been way upto the mark. Now that they have amassed a total that India can only dream to catch up with, they have ample time in their hands to pick up the remaining eight wickets.
By the way I do think Sachin will keep up his record of scoring centuries in the losing cause, and looks like he is going to get to his 100th ton in this match.
Lucky you Indian fans are, to have a player like him
Just a note that last year in the same fixture, England bowled out Aus twice, with 17 wickets going to the seamers.

I think it might be worth it staying up for an extra half hour tonight to see Sachin get in to the 30s and then into the pavillion.

it's a good cricket wicket. if you bowl well, as the aussies have, there is something there for you, if you do not you will get hit. I don't think the indians bowled all that badly, they just came up against good batsmen who were determined, and dhoni's fied placings were hardly helpful
it would be amazing if india pulls off a draw. but that said, it was a similar trend in england, they bat so well on the tea session and next morning they fold like packs. Right now the pressure is on the batsman and they will have to score big runs or face dropping, so we will see a certain players play their heart out, but we need all to do that. we need gambhir and sach to batt till tea atleast and then laxman needs to contribute and after that we will be on safe hands. sachin needs to bat as if he he will be dropped if he fails. that is the only inspiration i think that will pull out the players best
Exactly viru... whether or not match ends on day 4 will be decided in the first session of play.
If we somehow survive it, this will boost any little chance of draw we have.
This wicket has really flattened out after the first day, it's completely dried up. I don't think you can claim either sides bowling is entirely useless considering the nature of the pitch. The Indians could still realistically hold on for the draw here, they will just have to bat extremely well.
it will also be a test for Nathan Lyon. Is he really a test spinner? we will see, although it would be harsh to judge him on his performance against the worlds best players of spin
I now know how Swat got his nick-name.......he knows swat about cricket....
